Veterans: Help for Heroes

Pets enrich our lives and benefit our mental health. This can also be especially true for veterans. The Vanderburgh Humane Society’s newest outreach program, “Help for Heroes,” will serve veterans with pets in our community to hopefully keep them and their pets together – happy & healthy!

Available services include:

• Dog & cat distemper vaccines
• Flea & tick prevention
• Spay/neuter assistance
• Microchip with national registration
• Pet food
• Case management & technical assistance with appointment scheduling, forms, etc.
• Transportation when available

How & when to utilize this program:

What veterans should bring:

• Email address if they have one, and how to log into it
• Mobile device if they have one
• Pets must be either leashed, harnessed, or in a carrier before entering the building for everyone’s safety. Volunteers can assist with this upon arrival if needed.
